I'm in the UK, and use 1&1 (www.1and1.co.uk). I have to say that their tech support is absolutely rubbish!!! However, the actual Exchange service they offer is excellent, with no outage problems etc. in the 2 months I've been using it.

Setup is fairly easy, and contrary to what has been said above, task syncing DOES work, but only with the latest MS update (Came out about 3 weeks ago). As for any other 3rd party app syncing usually done over ActiveSync, I just use the wi-fi connection. File transfer is done over Bluetooth using the ever friendly Mac Bluetooth File Exchange wizard, and if I have to install something from a PC because the developers haven't provided a CAB file (latest MS Reader update for WM5, grrr :evil:), I resort to using my girlfriend's laptop.

The one thing I haven't been able to do is to use my phone as a bluetooth modem for my Powerbook. For some reason, OS X doesn't see the phone as a DUN agent, as it used to with my Nokia 7610.

Other than that, the perfect Windows-free setup!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] adambern:
Thanks Invisigoth.

I signed up to 1and1 yesterday and everything is working ok. I'll try out task synching.

One question, did they move your email domain to their servers? Or did they just point Exchange to your domain? One thing I don't want to do it move my domain and website.

1 and 1

Invisigoth - "task syncing DOES work, but only with the latest MS update (Came out about 3 weeks ago)".

I tried it and it doesn't seem to work. I've checked my Mac and all the software is up to date. Is there anything I'm missing?

Club i-mate hase a free Exange server on there site. Works fine!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] the_invisigoth:
What I've done, since I already have a seperate hosting setup for my domain, is redirect all my mail from jonathansimmons [dot] co [dot] uk to my completely random and impossible to remember 1&1 email exchange address. This way, the service acts seemlessly, but you keep your domain registered with your existing provider.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] the_invisigoth:
Also, have just realised that I'm being a complete imbecile about task syncing. Tasks on your Wizard will sync with the exchange server, and be available to view online, but Entourage still doesn't sync them locally. Hopefully Microsoft will put this final measure in place before too long, after all the work they put in to make Entourage work more smoothly with Exchange.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MANswers:
Hey guys,

I am almost new to android hence these questions. Been using the iphone for years, hence never dealt with custom roms but just firmwares that was customized for jailbreaking.

Hence please dont flame, i have done my research, but still in have a few questions left unanswered, i am sure they are answered on the forum, but i might take my chances on opening this thread and see if a helpful soul guides me through.

I have a rooted Verizon Note 3 with baseband version N900VVRUBMI9 (SM-N900V) I managed to root it at the time when there were no custom roms. Now that i see multiple developers have come up with fantastic looking and functioning roms, i am compelled to take this leap with anodroid to the next level of trying to flash these roms myself on the phone.

1. Will i loose all the data if i install a rom? I believe people do backup their data etc on the sd card, and in the recovery option you get that option, but can you backup every single data that your app creates and stores?

2. I see a few custom roms like Dr. ketan's rom, Lidroid's, Poppuri etc.. i am not asking whats the best, but when choosing a rom.. how do you ascertain? what do you look for? How do you deciede this is the rom i am going to install.

3. Under the worst case scenario what can happen if your rom is not correctly installed? are there chances you might brick your phone in such a way you wont be able to put it back to factory settings?

Please try to reply to whatever you can. I did google and read on the forums, and was able to get an answer to a lot of my previously held up questions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
Hi mate.

1. It really depends on which rom you are coming from. If you flash a rom based on the same firmware as yours, you can probably get away without wiping data. Some roms will state "require full wipe" in which case, yes, you lose all apps and their associated data. (You won't lose your sdcard data such as media and downloads).

There are apps that you can use to backup your apps and their data, such as Titanium Backup (my favourite), rom toolbox and others. Not sure about free apps for this but I bet they exist. Titanium lets you restore apps and their data :)

2. It depends on what is available and what you like. There are generally two types of roms. Touchwiz (TW) based roms and then the other variants that are based on a form of stock android (examples CM, Paranoid, AOKP etc). Touchwiz roms are based on the Samsung software, so they have all the s-pen stuff, the samsung apps, the Touchwiz interface etc.

The other roms will have a stock Android look. They can have other features such as Pie Controls, Halo etc.

The other type of roms aren't yet available for our phone.

3. I don't think you could brick it unless you flash a rom that is meant for a different device, and maybe screw up the bootloader in the process. The worst I have experienced is from not wiping my data when switching from different roms, and restoring old SYSTEM data, which made things go weird for me.

If you get Titanium Backup, do not backup ALL data. That will cause you issues. Just backup the apps you want, and maybe some system data such as text messages. There are some decent tutorials on using this app.

I hope some of this helps.

I doubt you will brick your device if you flash roms meant for your phone. Just read a lot, follow the instructions, and always always keep a nandroid backup in your CWM or TWRP recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MANswers:
Thanks for your fantastic response.. This helped a lot. I do use Titanium Backup, and take a daily backup of the new apps and changed data.

Android is a fantastic phone, i was living under the rock for all these years using the iphone. I think i missed out all the good fun that the earlier versions of android brought to the community as the learning curve was really great. Now with all the advancement.. i am having a little bit hard time catching up.. But i will do my best to get to know it.

Have another question here.. on the Note 3 verizon section i see multiple developers have posted their ROM's and thousands of people have downloaded them and have been using it. Does it mean that I can install every ROM posted on the Verizon Note 3 section? Meaning are they all compatible with the Verizon version of Note 3? Or should i be specifically looking forward to using the ROM thats marked with baseband version N900VVRUBMI9 (SM-N900V)?

Such as this..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2520550

Or could i use any of the rom thats within the Samsung Verizon Note 3 section?

I dont fully get the part where there are two kinds of ROM's available, when you says TouchWiz based ROM's and other variants such as CM, Paranoid, AOKP etc..

Can i installing other launchers such as Buzz Launcher or Nova on these two kinds?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MANswers:
So it looks like i just have one option to install for my baseband N900VVRUBMI9 (SM-N900V) its the hyperdrive.. is that correct?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danieljamie:
I think, THINK, that you can use any rom for SM-N900V. Notice the end of the rom build number is MI9.. they are chronological, MI9, MJ1, MJ3, MJ6, MJ7... generally try not to go down... up is ususally better..

It might benefit you to just ask in the relevant threads if your specific device is supported, as I'm not that sure about verizon phones.

Touchwiz is a launcher, and yes on the Samsung based roms, the launcher can be replaced with Nova.

The difference is on CM, it is based on stock Android. So the settings, phone, messages, all those apps aren't themed like the samsung versions. They will look, stock. Also CM won't have Samsung stuff like s-note, s-planner etc. Do a google search on CM and look at pictures...

You can choose launcher on all roms. But you can't get Touchwiz on stock Android, as it uses Samsung framework stuff.

I hope this helps...

If i email a person at my company with my phone, it goes directly to them

If they reply, it comes directly to me

If i reply - my default setting is Reply All - it adds my email to the CC

So because they emailed me, and im replying All, it adds me again!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] walkingTarget:
My Verizon Galaxy S4 died today (RIP). All my attempts to revive it have failed.

When it died, it was on and charging with the stock cable and adapter. The phone would not wake from sleep, which is when I noticed it was fairly hot. It did attempt to boot when I held the power button, but did not complete boot and hasn't powered on since. I've tried pulling the battery for 5 minutes and replacing, using Volume Up/Home/Power, booting from charger without battery, booting from charger with battery, and tried charging it a while. No attempts have been successful, and in all instances the phone gets very hot around the camera after about a minute of being connected to the charger.

Luckily the phone is only 6 days old so I should be covered. Still, for a phone of repute to die this quickly is alarming. I should also mention that this occurred while using stock everything (ROM/Bootloader/Kernel/Firmware/Unrooted/etc). I've seen that there are a number of reports related to charging, and Samsung's move to offer free batteries to GS4 owners makes me think they know there's a problem with their charger IC.

Has anyone else had an issue like this of overheat leading to death?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morphyxx:
I haveS4 (i9505) that had the rom foxhound 2.0 on it.

I later decided to install the Google Edition (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2348272) on it.

When installing it I should have wiped data and cache but I accidentally used TWRP's "Format Data" function which deleted everything.

I had to use Odin to put back the original samsung software.

After this I installed the Google Edition the correct way.

When it booted up it said: "encryption unsuccessful" with a button "factory reset" which I pressed.

This took me to the recovery mode which also gave me an error (don't remember what it said).

So i used Odin yet again to put TWRP on it so I could factory reset the phone.

I used the phone for like 1 day but then strange things started to happen.

The phone just froze. Not like a normal freeze where everything stops, but where loading-animations still works and everything else stops working.

So I restarted the phone and it happened again and again and again. From like a few seconds to a few minutes the phone froze or rebooted.

The strange thing is that the same thing happens in recovery (TWRP), the same kind of freeze as described above.

And sometimes the phone refuses to turn on at all. Doesn't help to press all buttons, even holing the powerbutton for 1 minute doesn't help.

I have found out that when this happens I can disconnect the battery and reconnect it after some time to get it to start up again for a short time.

I've tried three different versions of TWRP, and also the original samsung firmware with the same result using Odin.

During all this I also had some problem with my SD-card. Files on it got corrupted and sometimes when i copied files over to it i didn't allow it to happen.

Anyone got any tips on what is going on/what i should do?

Hello,

I know this has been asked dosens of times, but Im all out of guesses, after many searching.

I was running Pacman, and I wanted tt install a new kernel. I installed the JSS faux kernel. however, the colours went very weird, so I installed the cm10 colour fix.

Well, that didn't work out. It now stays stuck on the google logo, when booting up the phone. I tried going to factory reset in recovery, installing a fresh install of pacman, but I am still stuck on google screen....

does anyone knows what I gotta do? I'm stressing out..

P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware

For some unusual reason there is little to no development for the SPH-P500 and absolutely ZERO official firmware available for the Sprint model. This means, if you soft brick the tablet trying to install something you should not have, you have no easy way of getting back to the stock firmware. In addition, getting to the 4.1.2 version of the firmware is a royal pain due to the massive amount of "PATCH CHECKS" and assert checks built in to the OTA update. This means any deodexed system or a number of other reasons will be rejected if you try the OTA update while on non-official or approved firmware. So, for your convenience, I have compiled a simple ODIN-Flashable TAR file which will jet you up to speed installing the latest official Sprint 4.1.2 firmware.

Details:

P500VPBMB3 Stock w/ MB3 Modem

Package Includes: BOOT, RECOVERY, SYSTEM, MODEM AND CACHE ZONES

Download:

P500VPBMB3 Sprint 4.1.2 Firmware

Password on the archive is: www.mobiletechvideos.com

How To Flash:

BACKUP YOUR FILES AND DATA BEFORE FLASHING...ALWAYS. First extract this file using WinRAR or a program capable of extracting a RAR package as the package inside it is the TAR file you need. This was done to save time on the download. Once extracted, using ODIN, select PDA and choose this file. Now place your tablet in DOWNLOAD MODE by having it powered off, then power on by holding POWER and VOLUME DOWN until you see the on-screen text come up. Release the buttons and press VOLUME UP to enter DOWNLOAD MODE. Now click START on ODIN. Once completed (takes around 10 minutes), it is advised to enter RECOVERY MODE and perform a FACTORY DATA RESET for the best bug free experience since I don't know what ROM you are flashing from.

Did this help you out? Great, I'm glad it did! Click that THANKS button next to my name if you have the time. Please note, if you find yourself in a hard/soft brick situation of any type on any advice, give me a shout via PM or email through the contact page on our site.

Hi. I am pretty new here (although I have been a member for a while, I have not really been active). I do have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 inch display model P500VPBMB3. Perhaps I can try out what you are talking about if it helps me with my problem below and then I will be more than happy to give you feedback.

PROBLEM

I never really rooted a device before but I am at a loss here since the current version of Android that I have on my device is 4.1.2 . It's working OK but I run out of space very often since I only have 16GB of main memory. I would love to upgrade to 4.2.x so that I have the option of storing apps on the external SD card. I am not clear exactly what you are giving us here on your thread. If you can explain it to me and especially if it does what I am outlining above I would want done, I would love to give it a shot and then give you some feedback.

Either way thank you for helping is Sprint tablet people whether or not what you have above will help me.

Thanks

You will actually want to look into custom recovery combined with a custom ROM to enable this type of option. What I have provided here is a stock firmware (stock operating system). This is actually already what you have installed on the device.
